Our weekend snow shoeing Adventures in Oconomowoc and Lake Mills

We have found two more great places to snow shoe in the area.
On Saturday we went to Oconomowoc.
Started at Fowler Park on Fowler Lake.
At first if was pretty cold with the wind in our faces, but we changed direction and got ourselves warmed up.
We crossed Highway 67 near Spinikers and then went out on  Lac La Belle.
We must have put in about three miles.
It was a great adventure.
We found this little guy out on the ice.
 Episcopal church where Mary Linsmeier used to be located back in the day.
I subbed there a few times.
 Fowler Lake

 Here is where we crossed to Lac La Belle

Here is an island we found on our adventure.

On Sunday, we went over to Korth County Park in Lake MIlls.
what an awesome place to snow shoe.
There was a cold wind, but as long as we kept it at our backs we were okay.

 Don't let that pretty blue sky fool you, it was cold when the wind was in our faces.


 We made it out on Rock Lake.

 We also found the Glacier Drumlin Bike Trail.
 It sure look different in the winter than when we ride our bikes here in the summer.
 The steep hill was so much easier on snow shoes than on a bike.

 This is actually the top of a big hill, but it is hard to tell that from this picture.
We got to blaze our own trail in this wooded area.


A much needed rest after our three mile adventure.
Since we have taken up snow shoeing, I don't mind the winter as much anymore.
In fact, I think I will be sad to see it go.
